I got this computer from a friend and now my symantec is causing connection problems i believe. It all started one rainy afternoon when i downloaded an IE7 auto update after that my browser wouldn't even connect to the net. So i uninstall it and everything works normal again EXCEPT i cant connect to my messengers or my fulltilt poker software. If it involves talking to another client from the software's screen it wont allow me to connect. I.E. when i open Full Tilt it shows a connecting screen then says cant connect to server. I have had several people say they think its my Symantec stuff but i got find the uninstaller for my symantec stuff its not in the program files. PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello there,
If hcfcg's fix does not work for you, maybe you should try going into your Internet Options tab in IE, clicking the connections tab, find the LAN settings tab and seeing if the box "Automatically detect settings" is checked. What happened to me in the past was I downloaded the new IE version,it defaulted my LAN settings to a manual proxy setting, which then restricted certain connection attempts. So having that box checked on auto might solve your problem.
